Xs Wo Words Inight well suffice as an answer to all the florid objections of the press to Boucicault’s new production—“It pays.” The touchstone of merit is eu and the warning voices of the critics have certainly not had the effect of deterring the public from patronizing the play. To besure, experience Ueaches us that the best method to secure a profit- able run for a theatrical representation is to raise an outcry against ita morality. InNew York the proof of this may be readily supplied by the great run of the ‘Black Crook” drama, and by the handsome profits of the “yellow-haired leprosy.’? Here it is well known that the protests of the propriety Peck- nits against ‘‘La Grande Ducnesse” and ‘Barbe Bieue” made the kick-ups even of the pass: Schneider remarkably remunerative. To the morality cant of the preas, therfore, may in a degree be attributable the e great success of Formosa; but at the same time Mf there had realiy been anything in the drama to shock the common sense self-respect of aa ordinary audience it is not at all likely that the middie classes of London society—by far the most virtuoas dn (he city—would have given it their countenance aud support 11 80 Marked a degree, ‘THE CASE OF OVERSEER MCDONNELL.—The teativ. mony given before the committee of the Commo Council on Tuesday night in the case of Mr. Mc-! 1, Overseer of the Poor, completely exones, F raved. that official, Drs.

Modern Advance in Africa and Asia—=What Has Been Accomplished and What Remains to Be Done—Geography and Astronomy— The Social Movement in China and India. At the inaugural meeting of the British Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, assembied in Exeter, England, on the 18th of August, Lord Stan- ley and Lord Balifax were among those present on the platform, and it was expected they would take part in the proceedings on the conclusion of tne President's address; but the duty of proposing and seconding the usual vote of thanks fell to the lot of the Earl of Devon and Sir Stafford Northcote, and the only other speaker was the Mayor. ‘The geographical section was presided over by Sir Bartle Frere, whose address referred chiefly to the subjects to be brought forward for discussion. He sald:—1n opening the proceedings of, this section I have no intention to attempt any systematic sum- mary of the progress, present state or prospects of geographical science generally. Such ‘an effort wouid be impertinent in the presence of some of the great geographers whom we see around us, and considering that the comprehensive and exhaustive annual address of Sir Roderick Mur- chison for the past year is in the hands of 80 many of our members and visitors, it would be superfiuous were I to essay even a sketch of the progress of geo- graphical science since the British Association last met at Norwich. My object will be simply to state the proposed course of our proceedings in this sec- tion of the association, and to inform you very briefly, and by way of introduction only, on what particular points wo may expect to hear from the associates or from visitors who honor us with their presence information which may be either new in itself or may form the basis of useful discussion by those present, whether they come in the character of masters or dieciples of the science. Polar discovery seems by universal consent to have a sort of prece- dence in all classification of recent geograpNical in- quiry, and in this branch we cannot expect much that is new to be laid before our present meeting. We are now in the midst of the very brief season during which an Arctic summer allows the navigator for a few weeks obly any chance of making fresh discoveries, and cannot for some weeks longer hear what measure of success may have attended attempts like that of Mr. Lamont, to extend our Knowledge of the regions adjacent to the North Pole, and especially to solve the great arctic problem as to the existence of a great open Polar basin, and we must not expect too much. The point has been passed at which skill and well directed energy could command important results in the way of discoveries in those seas. Kach fresh addition to our knowledge of the distribution of land and water in those icebound regions has generally left the diMeulties of further discovery greater than before, and while the precauttons to be taken and The energy to be applied must be quite as great as in the days of Baffin or Parry, the results must depend more than ever on @ favorable season, @ lucky lane in the ice, or on What @ sportsman Would call a judicious cast in critical cases of doubt.

Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, the novelist, not only founded a story upon this strange custom, but revived it, awarding the flitcn to a certain dr. and Mrs. Barlow. The in- stitution has of late years fallen into abeyance, owing, it is believed, to a general feeling of disgust excited by the discreditabie but very characteristic trick of the Jast successful competitors, an Irish couple, Known In Islington as Mr. and Mrs. O'Fla- herty, whose amicable relations for a twelvemonth and a day were suficiently accountea for after they had carried off tne fitch by the fact that they haa been living asunder ail the time.
